Hello everyone! Im new to well pumps . I purchased one hell of a fixer upper and the first thing i noticed was the insane hydro bill! i run leds for all my lights so it can only really be traced back to our well pump. I have no info on the pump from the previous owner. All i know is that its a 240v 3 wire red/blk/ylw 12 awg. It runs off a 20 amp breaker. Pumps in my area are usually 300-400 ft down in a 6 inch pipe. What im confused about is it has no controller, He had it directly wired from the panel 120v to red then the next 120 runs through the pressure switch and over to the black. yellow is not even used. wtf? Could this be my power consumption? Does anyone know of a controller i can use without knowing my hp size. My house uses almost double the power a regular household goes through and were living in the dark.
